About Korea world group
BUILT FOR CROSS-BORDER
BUSINESSES
Who we are
Korea World Group is a Korea-based international commerce and cross-border expansion group — connecting Korean brands, products and businesses with global opportunities, while helping international companies enter and grow in Korea.
What we do
COMMERCE IN
TWO DIRECTIONS
KWG is deliberately broad. Rather than operating as a single-category company, we work across consumer brands, food, fashion, e-commerce, trade and cultural partnerships – treating them as parts of one commercial engine, and pairing that with cross-border expansion work between Korea and the United States.
Outward
Korean Brands → Global Markets
Six commercial lines spanning brand discovery, distribution, e-commerce, logistics and cultural partnerships – plus U.S. expansion support for Korean founders, companies and families.
Inward
International → Korea
Market entry and business development for international companies, and visa and immigration coordination for individuals and families arriving in Korea.
Where we operate
KOREA, NOT A SINGLE CITY
KWG is built around Korea as a whole. Seoul and Busan each contribute something different to how the business works – and the company is deliberately not limited to one of them.
Seoul
Corporate, consumer and technology activity – where brand, retail and commercial relationships are built.
Busan
Port, maritime and logistics infrastructure – particularly relevant to the trade side of the business.
How we operate
Four principles behind the work
These apply across every part of KWG – commercial lines, market entry and cross-border expansion alike.
Korea-Based Perspective
We are built around Korea’s brands, products and business culture – working from inside the market rather than advising on it from outside.
Cross-Border Experience
Business between Korea and the United States involves two legal systems, two tax positions and two commercial cultures. We work across both sides rather than one.
Asset-Light by Design
We coordinate freight, customs, warehousing and fulfillment through partners rather than owning infrastructure – keeping the business fast and flexible.
Commercial & Professional Capability
Commercial operating experience sits alongside recognized U.S. professional credentials – which is what allows regulated and commercial work to be considered together.
Founder
SANG MIN LIM
Cross-border expansion rarely stays within one discipline. A move between Korea and the United States touches immigration, tax, property and corporate structure at the same time – and those decisions affect one another.
KWG’s founder holds professional credentials across all three regulated areas, which is what allows the components of a cross-border move to be considered together rather than handed off in pieces.

02
U.S.-Licensed Real Estate Broker
Direct capability in U.S. residential and commercial property.
